A new mutation in mice causes the coat to be twice as thick as normal In what enviorments would this mutation be helpful?

That kind of mutation would probably be helpful in environments where it is colder. Other possible environments where it might benefit would be those with lots of harsh winds carrying abrasive particles such as sand or where a thicker coat would mimic the appearance of another larger animal that predators didn't wish to tangle with.

A mutation in mice causes the coat to be twice as large as normal in what enviorments would this mutation be helpful?
it would be in the industrial invirments
What is normal mutation?
a normal mutation when something is evolving into something bigger or stronger
Is it true that a defective allele always recessive and a normal allele always dominant?
No. The gene that causes Huntington's is caused by an autosomal dominant mutation, and one form of inherited Parkinson's is also caused by an autosomal dominant mutation.
What does the mutation rule state?
The mutation rule states that the state of mutations are in a mutated state when compared to a normal state. This is a slight mutation from the original stated rule.
If a gene is changed in a way that causes a new trait to appear?
A mutation is a change in genes or chromosomes that causes a new trait to be inherited. Mutations play a part in both normal and abnormal biological processes such as evolution, cancer, and the development of the immune system.

A new mutation in mice cause the coast to be twice as normal In what environment would this mutation be helpful why?
New mutation in mice causes the coast to be normal in today's world. This is a well ask question.
Why is a mutation that results in larger than normal corn kernels helpful?
No

Should you have Cancer?
No, Cancer is a mutation. It is not normal.
When when a mutation results in no significant change in the production of a of a functional protein?
When a mutation does not change the result of a normal production of a protein is called harmless. This is because it does no harm to the individual.

How does disease affect the cell?
Sickle cell disease is a mutation in the gene that codes for hemoglobin, which causes the hemoglobin and the cell to become elongated and look like a sickle rather than its normal disc shape.
What involves placing a normal allele in a cell that has a mutation and hoping that a normal allele begins to function?
Gene therapy
